One advantage is the ability to connect to wireless Internet networks from remote locations, such as a hotel or coffee shop. This capability allows you to perform internet-based tasks if a problem occurs while you are away from the office. However, you may need to check the model of your wireless card to determine its settings and compatibility with the host network.
